Rai, who likely realized he didn’t have much longer to live, proclaimed to his wife, Amiri Devi, how much he loved her before biting her on her hands and expressing that he wanted them to die together.

The couple lost consciousness before they were rushed to a nearby hospital, according to GulfNews India.

Doctors were able to treat and save Devi, but Rai did not survive.

“He told me he loved me too much and want to die together before grabbing my wrist and sinking his teeth into it,” Devi told the media. “I allowed him to do so.”
